President Trump and the News Media
In President Trump and the News Media: Moral Foundations, Framing, and the Nature of Press Bias in America, political communication researcher Jim A. Kuypers takes readers on a rhetorical framing tour de force, this time incorporating elements of Moral Foundations Theory to investigate the ideological underpinnings of press reports. Using a rhetorical version of framing analysis, Kuypers analyzes four major speeches by President Trump and compare…
Doing News Framing Analysis
Walter Lippmann coined the famous phrase “the pictures in our heads” in 1922 (Lippmann, 1922), yet the importance of images for social scientifi c study has remained undervalued even as late as 1990, when Doris Graber (1990) issued her call for more research on television visuals. As Graber noted, the study of visual information in news stories is stymied by a lack of appropriate theories and methodological hurdles. Today, framing theory has emer…

Social Breakdown and Competence
The social-breakdown syndrome suggests that an individual’s sense of self, his ability to mediate between self and society, and his orientation to personal mastery are functions of the kinds of social labeling experienced in life. We argue that the elderly in Western society are susceptible to, and dependent on, social labeling because of unique social reorganizations in late life, e.g., role loss, vague or inappropriate normative information, an…
A Comparative Framing Analysis of Embedded and Behind-the-Lines Reporting on the 2003 Iraq War
A 2003 study by the Pew Research Center for the People and the Press found that “Most Americans (53 percent) believe that news organizations are politically biased, while just 29 percent say they a
Composite narrative, authoritarian discourse, and the Soviet response to the destruction of Iran air flight 655
The response of the Soviet Union to the American destruction of Iran Air 655 in 1988 represents a break in the mutual cycle of superpower condemnation that occurred throughout the Cold War and most of the Reagan presidency. This essay concerns the Soviet response: first, we examine the manner in which Soviet print media disputed U.S. media comparisons with the 1983 downing of Korean airlines flight 007; second, we analyze Soviet news editorials a…
From science, moral‐poetics
This essay analyzes a letter written by James Dobson to over 2 million constituents of Focus on the Family. The letter discusses the 1993 Fetal Tissue Research Initiative, and is a complex example of moral‐poetic discourse rising above the scientific ideal in American culture. I first employ a judgmental analysis to determine what Dobson's potential reading audience was being asked to believe. Second, using Kenneth Burke's distinction between sem…
Presidential Crisis Rhetoric and the Press in the Post-Cold War World
Kuypers combines rhetorical theory and framing analysis in an examination of the interaction of the press and the president during international crisis situations in the post-Cold War world. Three crises are examined: Bosnia, Haiti, and the North Korean nuclear capability issue. Kuypers effectively demonstrates the changed nature of presidential crisis rhetoric since the end of the Cold War. Kuypers employs a new historical/critical approach to a…
